Path.To

Path.To

Path.To is a service that helps you to create a smarter looking profile and get it into the limelight.

Because the information on the profile is taken quickly from Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn, you do not need to personally add details. Path.To, then, maps your profile information and sets it up at Path.To in seconds.

Users at Path.To can endorse other professionals too. The more endorsements you get, the better your profile looks.

Anybody who has created a personal profile knows how hard it is to create one that looks interesting and makes you look as good as you actually are. It does not matter whether you are good, you need to project to an employer that you are. And that is one of the areas where Path.To comes in and helps.

Path.To loves skills, just like employers. They have engineered an endorsement algorithm to identify the most skilled people across industries. When you add a skill to your profile, you automatically get endorsed.

You can track the websites that link to your profile using the personal analytics of Path.To. You will be informed when someone mentions your Path.To profile anywhere on the web so that, if you want, you can reciprocate.

On your Path.To dashboard, you get to see who endorsed you and who requested an endorsement along with Facebook friends who use Path.To.

On Leaderboards, you get to compete with other professionals in your area of expertise. Healthy competition will only get you to better yourself and work harder at achieving your goals.

For employers, leaderboards can be a great resource for identifying talent. As the top professionals on leaderboards have many endorsements and are experts in their fields, it makes it very easy for employers to zero in on people they want to hire.

All in all, Path.To is a great resource for professionals who are looking for a way to get noticed.

Google+ – Google To Shake The Social World Of Facebook

1 Comment Posted by on July 7, 2011
Google Plus Logo

The Google+ Project

Search engine giant Google has unveiled its new social networking platform Google+ for public field trial. With circles, photos, sparks, +1 (plus one), hangouts and profiles it is a full fledged social networking platform which is just ready to fight the dominance of Facebook’s social world. Unlike the recently closed Google project Google Wave, Google+ have been widely accepted by both techy and non techy people. Many of my friends has asked me in advance to give them Google+ invitation as soon as it becomes available. Its like people are bored with the one and only Facebook, they are waiting for something new and interesting.

Facebook with 700 million user alone now dominating the social world. Though Google is the most visited site on the Internet, Facebook has accomplished something different, people spend maximum time on Facebook than Google. People driven by their own interest hands over their very important personal and social information to Facebook. Google has data but not very specific and personal data that Facebook has about their user. Google feels the need of their very own social network, because at the end they do business with the data.

Lets have a look at the important features brought by Google+. Circle which is similar to twitter but a bit different from friend in Facebook, it doesn’t require acceptation, you can follow and unfollow anyone at anytime without their permission. Then you can easily share your status and other data within your circle which is a bit difficult in Facebook. Hangout, so far considered one of the strong feature of Google+, lets you have video chat with more than one people easily and you can have video chat within one or more circle at real time. And Spark lets you dive into your are of interests. Text chats and voice call service is already built-in into Google+. All sort of communication tools are already there and they have a strong user base, the chance is higher this time.

Though these features are not yet strong enough considered to the Facebook platform but it is the base, on top of this solid foundation they can add more features in the future like Page for businesses, Photo Tagging, Events and other interesting features to fight with Facebook platform. Currently, only selected people have access to Google+, Google is bringing more people into it as time goes by.

Finally, each Google project has 50-50 chance of success, this time lets wait to see its future!
